Looking at guides for removing the headlight it seems like too much work. Is there a way to easily loosen the fender or the headlights a little bit?
2. How do you tuck under the doors' window trims? Is there an easy way to remove those?
I'm very quickly starting to realize that removing parts or loosening them is a lot more difficult than the wrapping itself  |
You don't have to start a separate thread. I don't mind you posting yours here at all. If anything it would help others on here to see different members at work under one thread. I'm all for sharing. ?. I'm actually gonna wrap my car again here soon. Gonna change color again. Lol. So I'll post and keep adding on to the thread.
1. With or without removing the headlight on that concave area. You can get it to conform into the area and under. Just lightly heat it and push it in little by little. When you heat the vinyl you'll be able to tuck it in easily in that area.
2. I didn't remove my window trim to tuck the vinyl in. If your squeegee is thin enough on the edge. You should be able use that and push the vinyl under it for a nice tuck. Or use a credit card or something and gently push it under. That should give it a nice tuck. If you use a credit card or some sort. Too much pressure will rip the vinyl pretty easily. Be careful with that. Then I use an exacto knife and slide the blade underneath to make the cut.
You shouldn't need to remove too many parts at all for the f10. Door handles (easy), tail lights (easy), headlights, (if bumper is off should be easy. I would highly recommend removing the headlights. Then put bumper back on to wrap). Grill, emblems, reflectors (if needed)
